yea most likely sorry my sarcasim is hard to read sometimes but i agree with you. i really don't think any mechanical failure could blow the hood open, i mean maybe if you really blew something up it would blow a hole in the hood but never blow the hood open, its latched down for **** sake!

I've personally seen a nitrous backfire blow the hood off more than one car.

blow the hood off!? holy hell what size shot were they running? or i guess better yet was it a DD that this happened too?

i just don't see a hood being blown off a daily driven car, that car has gotta be track only set up with a ginormous shot of nitrous and an even bigger bottle in back.

you don't need that much (or any nitrous) for a nitrous backfire to blow the hood open.. you just need that little fuel puddle to spark and turn the intake into a nylon grenade.
